## Being ohsome with R *Oliver Fritz* | *[ofr1tz](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ofr1tz)* How to query the ohsome API from R to aggregate and extract elements from the OSM history. ## Introducing tilemaker 2.0 *Richard Fairhurst* | *[Richard](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Richard)* Vector tiles are great! Having to maintain a rendering database isn't. That's where tilemaker comes in. SOTM 2021 will see the release of the [all-new v2.0](https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) which makes vector tiles speedily, on your own hardware, without a database. Richard Fairhurst explains how it works and how you can use it. ## GeOsm: The first mapping data-based social network to connect and empower communities. *SOB Willy Franck* Our goal is to create a mapping data-based social network for territory stakeholders. We want to work with different actors of the digital ecosystem to facilitate the promotion of our tool to those who need it. And it will be up to each community to appropriate the approach in an innovative way to help states, associations, people, companies and the environment. ## State of The Map Africa 2021 *Sharon Omoja* | *[shazomojah](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/shazomojah)* The State of the Map Africa conference celebrates the culture of open mapping, open data and GIS and its impact across Africa. In this talk we will give updates and plans for this year's State of the Map Africa conference. ## Presenting New Numbers: Quantifying the Increase in Paid Editing Since 2018 *Jennings Anderson* There are now more than 2,500 active _paid editors_ in the OSM Community. The last time we comprehensively quantified this editing activity involved just 1,000 editors across ten companies. This talk describes the increase in paid editing since 2018 with country-level breakdowns of editing activity and information regarding new editing teams and the growth of the existing teams. ## Tanga Buildings Import and Community Mapping *Antidius Kawamala* | *[KAWAMALA](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/KAWAMALA)* This is an Initiative for scaling up the OpenStreetMap Project by addition of buildings footprint data for entire region of Tanga,Datasets was developed by Ardhi University Students (ARU) in Collaboration with Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority (TCRA) in 2021. Furthermore, There are different community mapping activities as micro-works going on in the region, as the mission of enriching and making freely global spatial data as well as capacity building to the local community on how to use free and open source tools in contributing data to OSM. ## Activities performed by IRDP YouthMappers on 2021 *Shabani Magawila* | *[SHABANI MAGAWILA ](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SHABANI MAGAWILA)* [IRDP YouthMappers](https://twitter.com/irdp_mappers) is one of the Active Chapter available in Dodoma, under the supervision of the Institute of rural Development Planning - Dodoma. The chapter has been able to participate in various projects and was able to organize several trainings. With the skills we had we were able to help our fellow students to complete their Field Work Practice.

## The Boundary Puzzle *ark Arjun* | *[arkarjun](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/arkarjun)* The story of OSM Kerala community in developing the administrative boundaries of Kerala, a southern state of India. The Mammoth effort of volunteers made the different level of administrative boundaries of the state created a large impact in recent times including the pandemic management. The talk gives a brief on how the citizen-oriented participatory mapping revolutionised the open data culture and influenced the authorities. ## The YouTube community of OpenStreetMappers *Gregory Marler* | *[LivingWithDragons](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/LivingWithDragons)* Let's take a look at YouTube and the community there from an OpenStreetMap view. I quickly cover the big and important channels that host talks, provide tutorials and learning, along with those doing desktop streams or turning on a camera and chatting as they go out mapping. ## Let's meet at an island. OpenStreetMap as a source for spatial chat tool worlds *Helga Tauscher* This talk shows how worlds for adhoc video-conferencing systems or spatial chat tools, for example [WorkAdventure](https://workadventu.re/) can be populated from geospatial or other real-world data on an automated basis. The island scenario is the first of three scenarios to be investigated, with the other two being scenarios on the building and city district level. ## Experiments in P2P tiles *Iván Sánchez Ortega* | *[ivansanchez](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ivansanchez)* An exploration on how a seemingly obscure web standard (WebRTC) can be exploited to provide P2P transmission of rendered map tiles and theoretically lower the load on the OSMF's tileservers. ## Open Healthcare Access Map *Marcel Reinmuth* | *[maze2p0](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/maze2p0)* Get insights on travel time to healthcare facilities, population coverage and their interplay at different scales for a variety of countries. The [Open Healthcare Access Map](https://apps.heigit.org/healthcare_access/#/) is an OSM data powered application to explore health access. ## Bye Bye, Unclassified *Martijn van Exel* | *[mvexel](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel)* Many words have been said and written about road classification in OSM. In this talk, Martijn van Exel will look at this topic through the lens of recent community initiatives in the United States, and add his own opinions you never asked for. ## Project OsmAPP.org *Pavel Zbytovský* | *[zby-cz](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/zby-cz)* For a long time, I missed the single application for using OpenStreetMap. In this talk I would like to present the universal OpenStreetMap app, OsmAPP for short. After a few years of development, it already offers fast vector maps, clickable POIs, search and even basic editing capabilities. Let's hear the story of this project and discuss the future. - Link: [osmapp.org](https://osmapp.org) - Slides: [github.com/zbycz/osmapp-talk](https://github.com/zbycz/osmapp-talk)

## Building a Free Worldwide Long Distance Hiking Trail Map Together With OpenStreetMap *Davey Lovin* | *[mDav](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mDav)* Dozens if not hundreds of users worldwide have contributed a wealth of long-distance hiking trail information to OpenStreetMap. However, this data is difficult to extract in a meaningful and useful way and its quality varies greatly. This talk introduces [superroute](https://superroute.org/): an interactive webmap and quality assurance tool for OSM long distance hiking trails, with the goal of coalescing a community of passionate data-nerdy hikers to maintain and improve the data quality of these trails for the benefit of all. ## OpenStreetMap in the Philippines 2021 *OSM Philippines / Feye Andal* | *[feyeandal](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/feyeandal)* Last September 2020, the OSM-Philippines community released the [Call to Correct Narratives about Geospatial Work [in the Philippines]](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/a/aa/A_Call_to_Correct_Narratives_about_Geospatial_Work.pdf). We’re provided with an opportunity to share our own narratives and showcase the local community’s initiatives through a documentary-video produced by Amazon Web Services – Philippines. We would like to share OUR story with the whole OSM community. ## Localizing Community Support through regional hubs. *Geoffrey Kateregga* | *[Kateregga1](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Kateregga1)* The Eastern and Southern Africa Open Mapping Hub will engage with local mapping communities, facilitate knowledge exchanges, distribute funding, and provide training and support in order to massively scale local edits to OpenStreetMap in 22 countries. ## Automatic building detection with ohsome2label and Tensorflow *Hao Li* | *[leebob](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/leebob)* In this talk, we will introduce our recent work in detecting OpenStreetMap missing buildings and show you a walkthrough on how to train your own building detector using ohsome2label and the TensorFlow Object Detection API. ## ORS Tools - the QGIS Plugin for the openrouteservice *Jakob Schnell* | *[ezelo](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ezelo)* QGIS is great geoinformation software, the openrouteservice is a fantastic routing engine based on OSM data and this plugin brings them both together. Jakob Schnell from HeiGIT, one of the plugin maintainers, will give a short overview over the main functionalities of the plugin. Please talk to Marcel Reinmuth during the conference, since Jakob won't be able to attend :) ## OpenStreetMap in support of UN Peacekeeping missions: Unite Maps & UN Mappers *Michael Montani* | *[Michael Montani](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Michael%20Montani)* [Unite Maps](https://geoportal.un.org/arcgis/apps/sites/#/unitemaps), a program led by the United Nations Global Service Center, is leveraging OpenStreetMap data to deliver geoservices and cartographic products to UN Peacekeeping missions in Africa. The initiative supports peacekeepers in their operational efforts (as navigation and security) in areas torn by conflict. Unite Maps contributes to the extraction of OSM data as well as community support and capacity building of OSM communities under the umbrella of the UN Mappers network. ## Water and sanitation mapping in Nairobi's informal settlements. *Peter Ageng'a* | *[Peter Agenga](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Peter%20Agenga)* In this talk, we'll be sharing about the project that we conducted on mapping of water and sanitation in informal settlements of Nairobi through the support of OSMF under the 2020 microgrants projects. We'll be sharing some of the results and lessons learnt from the project and findings from a survey that we conducted on the impact of Covid on water and sanitation.

Lightning Talk session

## [Divide and map. Now.](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Divide_and_map._Now.) *Jiri Vlasak* - [Website](https://www.damn-project.org/), [Slides](https://qeef.gitlab.io/talks/damn-lightning-talk/) The damn project helps mappers by dividing some big area into smaller squares that a human can map. ## Mapping Historically Black Colleges and Universities in OSM *Harrison Cole* Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are schools that were established exclusively for Black Americans prior to 1964. As of June 19th, 2020, their campuses are disproportionately undermapped in OSM relative to institutions with predominately white student populations. After putting out the call to map these campuses, volunteers have come together to submit thousands of edits and ensure that the campuses are represented properly. In this talk, I give a brief overview of how far the effort has come, and what still needs to be done. ## DDD123-OSM: 2D and 3D render toolchain *Jose J. Montes* Introducing the toolset we are building to generate 3D models from OpenStreetMap data, used in our under-development "racing in your own city" game, and sharing some pictures and videos. ## OSGeo + OSM *Enock Seth Nyamador* - [Slides](https://enockseth.github.io/sotm-2020-osgeo-plus-osm-lightning-talk-enyamador/) Quick introduction to Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and highlighting projects for working with OSM Data. ## Tasking Manager 4 Tour *Wille Marcel* The new version of Tasking Manager, released on April 2020, has a new completely redesigned interface. This talk is a guided tour on the main parts of Tasking Manager 4. ## Uses of Mapping for Community Care During the Pandemic *Andi Tabinas* How were we able to use maps for community care during the COVID-19 situation in the Philippines? Through this lightning talk, I would like to share about how our volunteer organization, Mental Health AWHEREness, has been using maps and OSM data for community care in the Philippines. ## OpenStreetMap Data Pacific *John Bryant* Interest in open geospatial is growing in Pacific Island countries, where budgets and data availability are big problems, but the OpenStreetMap community in the region is still small. This project aims to introduce Pacific "geo" people to OSM by providing a weekly extract of 14 countries in a GIS-friendly format, bundled with a QGIS project and enhanced with some basic cartography. ## Hikar.js - bringing Hikar to the web *Nick Whitelegg* Hikar is an augmented reality app which overlays OSM ways on the camera feed of an Android device, and was presented last year at SOTM Heidelberg. The past year has seen a surge of interest in the three.js and A-Frame based augmented reality library AR.js, which allows AR apps to be developed for the web. This lightning talk summarises efforts so far to port Hikar to the web using AR.js. ## [Mapathon Keralam](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kerala_State_IT_Mission) *Amitha K Biju* Mapathon Keralam is being coordinated by the Kerala State IT Mission, with the concept of Let Us Make Our Map.

The project will improve OSM basemaps in Kibera and other informal settlements of Nairobi to allow visualisation of current status and hotspots. ## Mapping Gender issues in Kenya *Caroline Akoth (WiGIS, Kenya)* This lightning talk will cover Women in GIS, Kenya efforts to map gender issues in Kenya with support of our community, through #DataViz Challenges. ## Where can you dine like a king? *Stefan Keller* - [Whitepaper](https://md.coredump.ch/s/H1IQbLzjU), [Slides](https://www.slideshare.net/StefanKeller/where-can-you-dine-like-a-king) Synchronizing Local Datasets and OpenStreetMap using QGIS. ## Nurturing a Ministry of Mapping *David Garcia* Who cares for the mapmakers who care? I would like to share a story about a geospatial collective about OSM and FOSS4G that we have been trying to organise in the Philippines during the pandemic. ## Building the Street View Experience, Lagos, Nigeria *Ayo Akinseye* - [Website](http://www.moriwo.com/), [Slides](https://digitalspatial.com/sotm2020/presentation/) For better Geo visualization, we built a website with Geo referenced 360 degree panorama photos. Lagos, Nigeria is our first phase. ## What's new on OSMCha? *Wille Marcel* OSMCha is a validation tool for OpenStreetMap. On the last months we added some new features like visualization of relation members and more options of background imagery. Get updated on OSMCha with this talk. ## [GeoLadies PH](https://www.facebook.com/geoladiesph/) *Arnalie Vicario* Brief talk about GeoLadies PH, which was inspired by Maning Sambale's "How Do We Change the Ratio?" presentation in 2014.
